The G4S corporate flag can be seen in several photographs online,

The flag features the corporate logo centered on a white field. The logo
itself consists of the letters "G" and "S" in black capital letters, with a red
shape in between bearing the numeral "4" in white. Below the logo is the
company's name ("Group 4 Securicor") in black lettering.
